Learning About Leaders (Grade 4) - Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela (Grade 4 Social Sciences)

According to the CAPS document 5 hours should be spent on the life story of Nelson Mandela. The following resource is absolutely amazing!! 


There's information about his life and also some images and a video. But the best of it all is the interactive game! Its in a talk show format and Madiba's accent is quite funny! (They tried... lol!) It asks questions (easy questions) about Madiba. The learners can complete it at home or even at school in the computer lab. Maybe you can use it as a class exercise! 


Here's the link: BBC Primary History - Nelson Mandela

Enjoy!! :-)

dit vorder goed...

Jy kan ook self so oulike dingetjie maak soos hier bo! Gaan na www.fodey.com! Jy kan verskillende goed maak, soos 'n tamatie met 'n spraakborrel of 'n koerantvoorblad wat nogal goed kan werk vir die Sosiale Wetenskappe klaskamer.

Geniet dit! ;)

The South African War

Unfortunately the South African War (Anglo-Boer War) does not feature in the Intermediate & Senior Phase CAPS documents. It  is however now part of the Grade 10 History curriculum.

These presentations are aimed at a younger group. I am not sure how in depth it is taught in Grade 10, but I hope this can help!


Presentation 1: An introduction to the SA War
Presentation 2: Phases of the South African War
Presentation 3: Phases of the South African War (continued)
Presentation 4: The Scorched Earth Policy (Concentration Camps etc.)
Presentation 5: Black Involvement in the South African War and Conclusion.


Some notes on the South African War:


Notes 1: SA War Revision (Word Document)
Notes 2: Phases of the South African War (Revision) (Word Document)


The information is from a textbook "Social Sciences Today Grade 8" and various sources from the internet (I did not reference, as I only used it in class). I also do not own any of the images etc..

Die verkiesingsproses

Die verkiesingsproses

(Hoe om aan 'n demokrasie deel te neem)

Hierdie tema is vir Sosiale Wetenskappe se Geskiedenis afdeling.


Dit word in die Intermediêre Fase behandel in Graad 5.

Hier is ook 'n werkkaart wat leerders se kennis kan toets aan die einde van die les en ook 'n lesplan om vanaf te werk.

Nota: Vir een of ander rede lyk die skyfies 'n bietjie anders hier, wanneer jy dit aflaai sal dit nie so swart in die agtergrond wees nie! :-)
